Travel Guide

The Robert Frost Interpretive Trail is about 1.2 miles long-.3 miles are on a boardwalk, the rest trail.  As you weave through swamp, trees, over a stream, through a field, his poems are posted along the way.  Benches are located throughout.  I went just after sunrise and the field was full of birds.

Morning dew on spiders webs.  The field at the Robert Frost Interpretive Trail was full of them the morning I went.  I sat on one of them benches and watched/listened to the birds.  A very pleasant way to start the day.
The woods are lovely, dark and deep,   
But I have promises to keep,   
And miles to go before I sleep,

We loved how cozy and warm the cabin was, how easy the fireplace was to operate, and how much room we had. The view of sunrise from the back window and our ability to walk out there to enjoy it was a pleasant surprise. We'd love to come back.

We didn't make it into the general store in Ripton but the distance to a supermarket is a small negative.

Beautiful small town.

This is not a city. This is a creaky, mostly closed little track back in time that I would love to hole up in and write.

5/5 - Excellent

Secluded and peaceful
